Report on Educational system of UAE

It is a fact that government of UAE is trying it’s hard to achieve number one position in every field. That’s why government makes every possible effort to find those resources, which can make our lives more developed, easier as well as civilized. The Ministry of Education should also comply with the vision of the government, and keeping this vision in view, that have launched a program for school members and name of the program is LMS program. The purpose of this particular program is to keep school members in contact with each other under a single platform. It is important to realize the fact that need for such portals have become a crucial element for education system in so many ways, and it has become to be a main reference not only for teachers, but for educational leaders, students and their parents as well. Such portals are important in keeping things under a single platform, which easily connects everyone.

In today’s dynamic era, where technology has made its mark in every field and things have been developing so quickly, it is need of the hour that education sector also benefits from the essence of technology. It is great that UAE government’s education sector realized this need and LMS program has been launched, which is great way to connect people in the education sector. Moreover, it is a great way to transfer ideas, learning patterns as well as teaching materials so that great dimensions are added. It is needed to mention here that for this paper, Research Topic is “The Effect of Smart Learning Gateway (LMS) in education sector”. The primary research objective is to measure that how LMS program affects the performance of students and how much understanding level of these students is raised in primary stages of sector H, Kalba Schools.

Methodological Designs on Educational system of UAE

It has mentioned earlier that research topic for this paper is “Smart Learning Gateway (lms) in Education Sector”. As it is mention here that there is a cross sectional research design for this research as it looks to be more suitable research design in so many ways. This research design is a good tool to analyze sampled group and investigate that what difference are there between different groups and can come to a valid conclusion. It is explain here that use a survey for this research containing total 20 questions. The good thing about selected research design is that can be work on variables to collect data.

This research design apply on grade classes of school particularly focusing on fourth grade. The students of this school have various similar kinds of characteristics, but main different between these students is their geographical features. The other good thing about cross sectional research design is that it is less time taking as there was not enough time to go for deep kind of research. This study focus on two primary observations; first the internal and the other is external.

The other considerable research design is comparative research design. In this research design, the comparison of two or more than two things is made. This descriptive design will help me to select two different groups, and then find out similarities as well as differences about them.

So, in this research study, there is a need to compare the effects of LMS in school as well as one mother school from the Sector H. Both qualitative and quantitative research approaches will be used in research to collect as well as analyze relevant data.

Quantitative Research approach of Educational system of UAE

In quantitative research method, the case is quantified by doing the numerical analysis of collected data. There are four major types of quantitative research method; correlational, experimental, descriptive, and quasi-experimental. The numerical values can be part of this research method as data is collected through surveys and questionnaires.

Qualitative Research approach of Educational system of UAE

 The qualitative research method comes under the exploratory research design, which is primarily used in understanding motivations, feelings, thinking, opinions as well as reasons. The information collected through this method is very important as it goes beyond behaviors. It is important to mention here that five types are there under qualitative method; case study approach, grounded theory, phenomenological, narrative, ethnography.

  In view, the qualitative research method is most appropriate as it is about measuring the feelings, thoughts as well as experiences of the population. The quantitative research method is also good, but that is not suitable for research because such approach is more appropriate for numerical data and information.

 Still, there is a need to use both of these research methods, because it collectively can be better for study to gain better conclusions. The quantitative method will be used to find out that how performance of students is enhanced with the help of LMS. On the other hand, qualitative method will be used to find out that what the effect relationship of LMS is between the Sector H primary schools.

            The sequence of both methods will be used properly like first quantitative method will be used to collect all relevant statistical data, and then qualitative method will be used afterwards to qualitative data that how LMS has played its part in increasing the students’ level in their classes as well as exams.

 The samples applied for the research of Educational system of UAE

The applicable samples of study are based on both qualitative and quantitative methods. The population for the study is those students, who are currently using LS in grade 4, whereas sample for this study will be students using LS from the Fatwa bent Abdul Malek School and for comparative study the other selected school will be Almohad School.

The survey will be applied in research study and random sampling will be used to conduct survey.

·         How to conduct a random survey in research?

The population will be defined in the sample. For instance, 200 students from school population will be taken as sample for this research study. In the end, selected samples will be used and instruct about them that how it are applicable in this study in particular:

Quantitative (probability) of Educational system of UAE

The researcher can use this type when something examined to be happening on the basis of probability. It is important to mention here that random sampling will be used by me in this study as it will provide more validity to the research.

Sample is taken from the population, like in this study students’ sample is taken from the population of Fatma Bent Abdulamlek School.  There would not accept any other volunteers in the sample because it will have an effect on results. That’s why students will be taken from selected population and random sampling along with stratified sampling will be used to collect data.

 Sample errors: It is important to avoid any sample errors during the sampling as results of the study will not be valid if samples will be coming with errors. The sample should be good enough to get validity of the research. For instance, if take wrong sample, then students may respond that LMS have not been beneficial for them, whereas it actually use any other learning platform, which means that are not relevant to this particular study.

So, there is a need to avoid any kind of sample errors, and correct sample will be chosen from selected population so that valid results can be obtained.

 Sampling Methods of Educational system of UAE

Simple Random Sampling of Educational system of UAE

The random sampling allows the probability of being chosen for all students from the population as are taken randomly.

Sampling bias is selecting sample from the population with some kind of bias that ensure that sampling has no sampling bias.

Method Removes bias: The random sampling method is the best way to remove any kind of sampling bias as students will be chosen randomly without favoring anyone.

Stratified sampling is important to be used in study, because it helps in representing population’s subgroups. For instance, the age or weight of people can be a subcategory for a group, where sample is taken on the basis of different age range.  In this study, students selected by considering their class numbers as well as students’ size in the classes.

Non- probability sampling of Educational system of UAE

The bias is encouraged in this kind of sampling like AlDharah School was selected on the basis of bias, which raises questions on the validity of research.

Convenience The people who can easily be reached from a population as compared to others are chosen as per convenience sampling method. One of such examples is taking polls from Facebook users.

Purpose sampling it is also named as subjective sampling, where samples are taken from population on the basis of characteristics. The sample have chosen students as per different preferences by looking at their characteristics.

 The different stages of research of Educational system of UAE

There are various stages of research such as reliability, validity as well as reliability.

Reliability: A research achieves reliability when taken measures of the study are consistent and valid enough to measure the collected data.

Reliability (consistent):

To win the trust of students, online survey will be used in this research so that can give their honest opinion without any fear.

External (inter-rater) research of Educational system of UAE

 There is a need to talk to teachers about research and collect data from them as well so that can remain consistent in getting information from external resources as well.

Internal reliability of Educational system of UAE

The internal reliability will be achieved by asking variety of questions.

Validity of Educational system of UAE

The survey is actually ensuring the validity as it comes with valid questions to collect relevant information.

Face validity of Educational system of UAE

If participants feel that questions are not relevant to them or not relevant to the study in any ways, then should not answer those questions.

 About the sample of Educational system of UAE

v  The research use sample size which will be much enough large size.

v  The research must be precise when describe the population to make the sample be close to population as possible. So, that will help to reduce any errors in samples and increase validity.

v  The research will repeat the test for the sample over period of time. For example: compare between term one and term two.

v  The research will use a combination sample method, for example of this is: if use random sampling that will help to reduce bias.

v  The research will implement study in school because it's suitable for me and will facilitate research.

v  The research will use probability methods to lead me to a good represent population.

v  The research will ensure to represent the sample size characteristic differences which is based on the population.  For example: if many students in the population then the sample should have students in the same level (age).

 In regards to sample of Educational system of UAE

The large enough, adequate sample size were used. The description of survey was précised hence it was possible for students to reduces sample errors and increase validity. It was ensured that the sample size characteristic differences are represented based on the Students. A non-random Organization (Aldharah School) was chosen as it was convenient and random students were picked for research.

 Conclusion on Educational system of UAE

The Survey Result revealed improvement in students’ performance and satisfaction for the Smart Education with Smart Learning. Greatest Improvement was observed through open discussion and as evidence a score card was collected as improvement data. The survey report claimed 90% of the students approved the Smart Learning in Education.
